I4h Workflow Create
Create a new agentic env by forking an existing env. Use for new env/task scaffolding, not scene edits or baking.
I4h Workflow Dataset Annotate

I4h Workflow Dataset Mimic
Expand an HDF5 recording by cloning trajectories with action/state noise. Use when asked to mimic, expand, or augment a dataset; not for recording new demos (use [[i4h-workflow-dataset-teleop]]).

I4h Workflow Dataset Teleop
Record episodes for an agentic env via teleoperation (keyboard, SO-ARM leader, or VR) into HDF5. Use when the user wants to teleop or record human demos.
I4h Workflow E2e

I4h Workflow Setup
Verify host requirements and run `workflows/agentic/setup.sh`. Use when asked to set up, install, or bootstrap the agentic workflow, or hits missing `.venv`, third-party checkout, or engine errors.
I4h Workflow Validate
Validate, evaluate, or run i4h envs. Use for policy/checkpoint rollouts and scripted state-machine smoke runs.

What is a coding agent skill?
It is a reusable instruction package that teaches an AI agent a focused coding & development workflow, often including commands, checks, and supporting resources.
Which coding skill should I try first?
Start with a narrow task you already understand. The current category leader is Github, but requirements and access scope matter more than rank alone.
Does a popular skill mean it is safe?
No. Popularity reflects adoption and interest, not a security guarantee. Read SKILL.md, review commands and dependencies, and test with minimal permissions.
